2001 BMW M3 Convertible 6-SPEED MANUAL

BMW M3 Convertible 6-SPEED MANUAL (2001)
for sale

Price: US $9,000.00

Description:


You are bidding on a 2001 BMW M3 Convertible with the sought after 6 speed manual gear box. This is NOT the SMG transmission. I have not owned this very long and hate to sell it, but some family issues have come up and it's time to down size. Within the past month it's been inspected and serviced by the local BMW dealer here in Omaha, NE. I have the full inspection sheet. These cars have notorious subframe issues, however, this car checked out with flying colors from the inspection. It received all new spark plugs and a new coil while being serviced. The inspection stated that tires and brakes were all within spec. It also has had a fresh oil change within the last 50 miles, with the TWS BMW oil used strictly for the M engines. I also have the clean car fax that I can email if requested. I can have the car inspected again at the buyers cost where ever you'd like. Please come and inspect the car if you can, before bidding. I've told all the defects that I know of in the description above.
The car runs and drives great. Everything in the interior works as it should, cruise, radio, heated seats, power windows and door locks. Comes with original BMW tire pump in the trunk even.
Underneath its bulging hood lay the final form of BMW's race-derived naturally aspirated inline-6 S54 engine, making 333 horsepower, winding out to over 8000 rpm, with a torque curve flatter than a tone-deaf American Idol contestant. It gets from a stop to 60 MPH in less time than it took you to read this sentence.
There are two gearbox options: The manual 6-speed, and the SMG 6-speed. Let's cut to the chase - you want the manual. The SMG trips over its untied shoelaces when in traffic, and although it can be quite fun when approaching the speed limit, its affinity for eating clutches on hard launches and its inability to keep the SMG pump working for a prolonged time make it something to skip completely. -- Tavarish on here

Condition:Seller Notes:
Used
“I'll do my best to note any defects that I am aware of. I'm pretty critical. There are a few nicks in the vinyl in various places (behind the seats, etc.). The driver's bolster has a tear and has wear in the seat and seat back. Shifter knob lights up like it should with the lights on, but shows wear. There is a scratch on the hood, above the drivers side headlight. Passenger side fog light is cracked. Under the bumper on the passenger side (have to get underneath to see), scratched. Front bumper cover doesn't seem to line up perfect, just cosmetic. BMW dealer inspection stated power steering oil leak, but not bad enough to address (per the dealer). Driver's side convertible top flapper is missing. Each wheel has a few scuffs, but nothing major, no vibrations. Center arm rest shows wear. Top works great, but it's slightly misaligned per the BMW dealer.”
